In this way, those who gloat at the disaster will just smile in their hearts, and no one will dare to talk about it anymore.

On the side of the Gu Mansion, Jiang Yi delivered the letter to the second master, Gu Yuan looked at the letter written to him on it, and then looked at the letter below that was not sealed, and he hooked the corners of his lips.

The little girl will calculate when the time comes, how will he take advantage of her and peek at her letters?

Is it known that without a seal, he will not look, so the reverse comes?

"Send the messenger to the border." Gu Yuan threw the letter back in front of Jiang Yi, "How are the people over there in Jiangnan checking?" ”

"The people who are concerned about the household department's embezzlement and repair of the river embankment are all pressed to Jinling, and they can reach Jinling in three or two days." Jiang Yi talked about business, and the expression on his face became serious.

Gu Yuan got up and looked at the wind wax flower in the courtyard, "First the county prince's mansion, then the leaking case, and now with the addition of the household department, the second prince's handwriting is very large, this time he will not be still." ”

"There are twenty people who have escorted back the person's card, and there are ten of our secret guards in the dark." Jiang Yi felt that he was about to arrive in Jinling, and the second prince was not so bold.

Gu Yuan didn't look back, but seemed to see through his thoughts, "The dog jumped over the wall in a hurry, not to mention that it was still a dragon." Let people prepare horses, and I rushed over to pick up people overnight. ”

In any case, this time the people of the second prince of the household department will be removed, and the second prince will not make any more moves in a few years, Gu Yuan does not want to be so tired and bothered all day.

The second master has always been like a god, and Jiang Yi was also shocked when he heard it, so he didn't dare to say more, so he immediately went out to recognize it.

Overnight, two figures rode away on the southwest gate of Jinling City.

And in a post station, Xie Yuanniang just had dinner, today rushed to the road for a day, it was dark before resting, the post station is on the official road, there is no village in front of the store, in addition to a few owls in the evening, it is quiet to go to the post station building other passers-by to eat and laugh.

Xie Yuanniang's upper body leaned out of the window, looking at the dark woods, letting the wind blow her freshly washed hair, she estimated that it would dry after a while.

Although Ling Mei and the others were also in the carriage, they had been bumpy in the carriage for a day, and Xie Yuanniang was afraid that they would be tired, so she let them rest early.

The birds in the woods, as if they had been startled by something, suddenly flew wildly.

Xie Yuanniang looked deeper, it was pitch black, even by the moonlight, she still couldn't see anything.

After a while, I saw a group of people, slowly coming to the post station from the official road, there were a lot of people, there were seven or eight carriages, plus the people hugging the front and back, Xie Yuanniang estimated that there must be more than twenty, not to mention the people still sitting in the carriage.

The procession got closer and closer, and when the convoy was seen by the lantern hanging outside the post house, it could be seen that the people guarding the carriage were all from martial arts, and one person was vigilantly paying attention to the movements around him, and the people in the carriage could hear the sound of chains when they came down, although they could not see it, but they could see their clumsy movements when they got off the carriage, and they should be wearing shackles.

It's a bunch of prisoners.

Xie Yuanniang's first thought after seeing it.

When something like this happens, it always makes people feel uneasy.

Coupled with the sound of owls from time to time, Xie Yuanniang's feeling was even worse.

She closed the window, stopped blowing her hair, and didn't want to listen to the movement over there when she got back to bed, but people are like this, the more you don't want to listen, the more you can hear it, the people below are asking for a guest room, the movement is very loud, and the tone is like an officer and soldier.

Xie Yuanniang felt that she was thinking too much, so she closed her eyes and let herself not listen or think, and she could continue to hurry when it was dawn.

After a day's carriage, she slept quickly, and fell asleep without thinking about it, but when she woke up in a daze, she was woken up by the fighting outside, and there were bursts of smoke coming out, and there were shouts from people.

Xie Yuanniang opened her eyes violently, she was choked awake, and the thick smoke went straight to her mouth and nose, and she couldn't open her eyes.

Xie Yuanniang took out the handkerchief next to the pillow and covered her nose, stumbled out of bed, touched the direction of the door but found that the door was blocked from the outside, and she couldn't push it open at all.

Pushing open the window, when one leg stepped out, his body was unstable, his center of gravity fell, and he only let out a sharp exclamation, and the whole person fell.

She lives on the second floor of the inn, and she falls headfirst down, so you can imagine what the consequences will be.

As her body fell, Xie Yuanniang could still feel the pain of the flames burning her face after the first floor burned up.

As a result, there was no imaginary pain, her waist was wrapped, her whole body was lifted again, and the sudden change made her eyes open suddenly.

Although the other party was masked and only showed a pair of eyes outside, Xie Yuanniang still recognized it at a glance.

"Little uncle." She grabbed the robe on his chest with both hands, her face excited.

I have forgotten the aftermath of the catastrophe.

In a vigorous posture, he jumped to the tree next to the post station in the night, and then jumped to another tree, until he entered the woods and landed on the ground, and then stopped.

Xie Yuanniang stood firm against the tree, it was very dark in the woods, she didn't think of being afraid, but looked at the figure in front of her.

"Why is Uncle Xiao here?"

Gu Yuan was dressed in a night suit and didn't speak, and he couldn't see his face clearly with the moonlight on his back, but he could know that he was looking at you.

Xie Yuanniang couldn't figure out what was going on for a while.

Could it be that she recognized the wrong person?

But no.

"If you know how long you live, aren't you afraid that you will recognize me today and I will kill you?" Gu Yuan's voice sounded colder than usual, as if he had changed someone, "I don't dare to see people at night, and I appear here again, with your cleverness, you can guess that you must be doing something unseemly." ”

"Uncle Xiao is a good person and will not hurt innocent people." Xie Yuanniang smiled, she was not a girl, she would be scared because of this, and the little uncle was testing her.

She didn't know why she did it, but it was a lie to say in her heart that she wouldn't get hurt.

Anyway, in her previous life, she had always taken care of her in the Gu Mansion, and it was the little uncle who helped her, and the little uncle at that time did not question her.

But then she smiled again, in her previous life, she married into the Gu Mansion, did not contact outsiders, and was a member of the Gu family, the little uncle did not question her very often, how could it be compared with this time.

The two lives together are not young people, and she feels a little embarrassed to have such immature ideas.

Gu Yuan's gaze was sharp, even in the dim light, through the moonlight, he could see the changes in the little girl's eyes in front of him clearly, the little girl's trust and loss, and then smiled with relief.

What was she thinking?

Relieved, he believed that he was not mistaken.

Why be relieved?
